## Resource

Dimitri and Khalid crack open one of the most explosive - and memory-holed - exposés of the early 1970s: the taped confessions of LAPD agent provocateur and self-described “master of conspiracy” Louis E. Tackwood. Tackwood’s collaboration with the left-wing Citizens’ Research & Investigation Committee (CRIC) resulted in a co-authored book, THE GLASS HOUSE TAPES, in 1973. His allegations include: recruitment by the LAPD’s shadowy CCS squad after the Watts riots in 1965, framing the Black Muslims for stockpiling guns while making contact with/providing guns and money to Ron Karenga, the Black Nationalist leader of the US Organization, enabling Karenga’s murderous attacks on the LA Black Panthers, setting up Jonathan Jackson to die and framing Angela Davis for “terrorism”, collabing with fellow informant Cotton Smith to smash the LA Black Panther chapter, infiltrating leftist City Council campaigns in Berkeley, a sinister Nixonian false flag plot to stage mass violence (blamed on leftists) at the 1972 RNC convention, and a chillingly prescient warning about how the computerized, networked Glass House Total Police State was standing on the verge of getting it on nationwide… For access to full-length premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, subscribe at https://patreon.com/subliminaljihad.
